Yesterday on a teabrake i was talking about why i was trying to take voluntary redundancy and the reasons why and the group of members tok about 3 minutes to identify the structural problems and start proposing sensabul solutions . My point is that the company i work for has lost millions and has probably spent equivalently silly amounts of money with consoltonts and still not figured out what took a small group of members 5 minutes and some chocolate biscuits to get to the bottom of the problem.
It should be noted that there were more phd’s in the room than sds drills .
I think that what I am saying is that one of slms resources is having a vast amount of brain power on tap. Is there any way of comerslising this, how about looking for copret sponsorship where once a month we let the sponsors come hang out with us and ask us questions.
One of the true joys of slms is being able to hang out with such clever people who a college dropout like me would not normally intact with .
i cant get the drunk guy in the pub with an ambient smell of stale wee to talk to me…but mabe an MSc. doesn’t cut the mustard anymore…I think so far collectivley the best thing we can consult on is constructing makerspaces…and that would prob be pro bono if a group needed help
FYI: As a heavily dyslexic kid, I really struggled, I have and continue to rely heavily on phonetics and rules that I have learn’t… I guess two dissertations has forced me to learn but it might help you, I dunno.
For example: the word Consultancy, breaks down into sounds: Con - salt - (n)ancy the only rule there you have to learn is that salt becomes sult but you can hear the U in it.
I have gotten into a habit of over pronouncing words in my head: sensible for example is sen (s)ible, always makes me think of Fawlty Towers (although thats Syble), but thats how I figure things out, plus a lot of red and green squiggly lines that I correct after.
But seriously I wouldn’t worry I know spelling put you off using the forums initially but we all know what you mean
If you’re bored for a minute, Google “famous Dyslexic people”.
Because dyslexics have think differently to get things done it tends to make them good problem solvers and/or out of the box thinkers. That or were all bonkers
if only there was some kind of manic paperclip that popped up and beamed gormlessly from the screen when you spelt something wrong, a kind of sytaxtic jar-jar binks
